Since making this, Margam Park has now reopened to a limited extent but all buildings and facilities are still closed, see their website for the latest info www.margamcountrypark.co.uk/

What a beautiful place Wales is :) Nice peaceful walk.

Yes it is peaceful, amazing as one of the biggest steel works in Europe is less than a mile away.

Port Talbot is a very historical place and has a lot of history to visit

Interesting story, about the monks in history. Great walk, the history of your walk is awesome, very beautiful and historical place in Wales. Hope to see more soon. 😀

Lovely 🌹👋🏼 from 🇨🇦. My great grandfather was born in Glamorgan *shire in those days. I inherited much from him. He came to the prairies (MB) and married a full Cree living at Sagkneeg formerly Fort Alexander (wilderness). I’m so pleased with your presentation!! Thank you.

It is a beautiful area despite being so close to one of the biggest steel works in Europe. When you are in the woods, you wouldn't know it was there.

Margam Abbey is such a wonderful structure! The inside picture of it was filled with much detail. I could spend hours just walking inside and around the graveyard,as well as the churchs' interior! Great video!

Yes, it is a very interesting place and so is the surrounding area.

I used to climb over the wall (right side of the abbey) in the 70's when it was closed (before the fire), Magical to have the place to myself and sometimes with friends..76 was the summer!

Beautiful

You done a fair bit of walking in this video, The beauty of editing makes it look effortless , I didnt even know a Iron age encampment existed near the CHL station 😀, I can never find a good trail up from capel mair to the ridge. Great video, well edited and informative

Thanks for the comments, the walk up that hill from Capel Mair isn't that clear but there are traces of a couple of paths. Worth it when you get to the top, great views. Apparently, there are quite a few iron age sites along the ridge.

Very good, love watching your videos. Thankyou for posting you are great 😊 mee I’m from skewen Neath abbey

So quiet, I❤the countryside--Eerie lack of people amongst the buildings---Perhaps somewhat similar to what the author of the Saxon poem “The Ruin” saw before him....

Great video. Can I add that the stone circle is from the 1966 eisteddfod, the stones from the 1932 eisteddfod are in Baglan park.
